Chapter 164 The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth
[Anti-fraud expert #26: That's really weird. What kind of kind person would plant a locust tree covered in cell phones in a research institute...?]
As soon as No. 26 finished speaking, Morofushi Kagemitsu and Anti-Fraud Guy both recalled the strangely shaped, greenhouse-like research institute and their experience that day.
Heh... It can't really be that she used some trick to escape the pursuit, right?
They ultimately failed to figure out what kind of wine was actually in the barrels of Merlot.
[Anti-Fraud Guru No. 66: The Bewitching Bar—otherwise, how could they possibly keep track of the movements of so many low-level individuals even without our real-time monitoring?]
Perhaps, over the years she has recruited many capable hackers, and may even have reached some kind of agreement with Shunsuke Goto.
Otherwise, it would be strange enough that Shunsuke Goto survived her clutches.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: We'll find out if there's any collaboration between these two. Also, we need to figure out what's going on with that super AI project.]
[Anti-Fraud King No. 205: Judging from the technological level the organization has demonstrated so far, even they in this timeline don't have the capability; it's almost impossible for them to develop a super AI that can rival ours within the next few years. If they had actually developed it, fate wouldn't have interfered so much during our time travel.]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: That doesn't mean they have no chance in the future. In a few decades, if their final project actually launches smoothly, there might actually be a possibility of success.]
...Is their project actually feasible?
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Theoretically speaking, yes. But even with so many years of preparation, the progress is still zero. It will only be theoretically possible to launch the project after several breakthroughs in global science and medicine.]
Hearing them say this, Morofushi Kagemitsu became somewhat curious about the existence of the Anti-Fraud King, but he figured their underlying logic would prevent them from revealing this information, so he had no choice but to refrain from asking.
However, when Anti-Fraud Master brought up the organization's final plan, it reminded him of the special circumstances surrounding Melo and Goto Shunsuke. One of them came from an island, and the other was related to the BOSS by blood. The final plan had also been paused at that crucial juncture three years ago. Perhaps they really could pull off something.
Perhaps that's why he commissioned Akai Hideaki to kill Mello.
After weighing his current resources, Morofushi Kagemitsu decided to thoroughly investigate his mysterious former boss with his erratic thinking once he returned.
He should have done this a long time ago.
He mentally reviewed all the potentially threatening individuals within the organization, intending to ask the Anti-Fraud Master if there was anything else he needed to worry about.
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Something else... Ah, your body's still under the bed! Why don't you let it stretch its limbs?]
Zhu Fujingguang: ...
Um, I don't think I really need it.
[Anti-fraud expert #19: Your soul is no longer in it, how do you know you don't need it? Besides, Zero just adjusted the bed's height, what if you broke a bone? We had a really hard time squeezing you in when we hid the body!]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu was startled, quickly got off the bed, and then peered under the bed.
He was initially quite open-minded; since he was already dead on this timeline, he didn't really care about his body.
But there might be other uses for this body later, and it might even be seen by his relatives and friends. So he can't be sloppy. If there really is a fracture, he still has to find a way to cover it up.
He gently moved aside the magazines that were blocking his view from the gap, then pulled on the hoodie that had just been put on the corpse and slowly moved the body out.
[Anti-fraud expert #148: I do have some basic medical knowledge; a fracture is something that's hard to fake.]
Morobuchi Kagemitsu did a quick check and found that apart from his right arm being slightly deformed from being pressed, there was nothing seriously wrong.
[Anti-Fraud King #214: You call this nothing serious?! If it weren't for the organization doing some weird experiments on your corpse, and our energy boost, your arm would be useless!]
...I'll try to see if I can bend it back.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Wrong posture! Raise your arm higher first, otherwise you might break your ribs if you use too much force. Turn 15 degrees to the right...]
Sweating profusely, Morobushi Kagemitsu did as instructed, while also being careful not to wake his roommate, Jun.
After a thrilling 15 minutes, the body was finally successfully resuscitated... Well, apart from not being able to be saved, there was nothing else wrong with it.
[Anti-fraud expert #11: Phew... thankfully, we have enough time. I just checked, and Akiyama Nao and Butler Hase have already driven over with the coffin. They should be here in about five minutes.]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Alright! Let's get ready to transport the body!]
He glanced at the clock on the wall; there was still half an hour until midnight.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: Don't worry, we've already calculated it. The nurses in the lobby will be changing shifts in two minutes. At that time, we can borrow a wheelchair from the ward diagonally opposite and then retreat down the stairs.]
Now we need to make some preparations.
He quietly drew the bed curtains and took a white coat he had borrowed from the bedside table to change into.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Roommate, don't worry. I gave him some sleeping pills before bed; I guarantee he won't be able to get up all night.]
you……
Morofushi Kagemitsu was momentarily speechless. He wanted to say something, but time was of the essence, so he had to swallow his words.
Timing it perfectly, Morofushi Kagemitsu quietly slipped into the ward diagonally opposite, carrying his own corpse. After silently apologizing in his heart, he placed the body on the wheelchair and, taking advantage of the nurses' inattention, slipped into the stairwell, chair and all.
Then, the duo, disguised as doctors and patients, openly moved around the hospital.
[Anti-fraud expert #66: They parked their car by the side door. Go out through the right door, and be careful, the head of the dermatology department is dozing off on the left.]
Morofushi Kagemitsu carefully followed the instructions and finally ran into Akiyama Nao and the others.
Three people were suspiciously transporting the corpse, and if nothing unexpected happened... something unexpected happened!
"Beep—! Beep—! Beep—!"
The car had just started moving when the alarm of the car parked on the side of the road suddenly went off!
Morofushi Kagemitsu suddenly sensed something was wrong; a chill ran down his spine from his right. He crouched down, took a sidestep, and then jumped back. The next instant, he heard the sound of glass shattering across the street.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: There's someone pointing a gun at you from under that car behind you!]
He leaned back into the car, thus dodging another blow.
"Drive away!"
Nao Akiyama quickly closed the car door and spoke to the butler, Hase, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
The car immediately accelerated forward, and the third round of bullets swept across, leaving marks on the road.
Neither of the two people in the car dared to relax, keeping their bodies low to avoid being attacked by snipers again.
After a while, once they were sure there was no movement outside, the two of them sat up straight, their expressions very serious.
"Mr. Midorikawa, what are your thoughts on those people?" Nao Akiyama asked him softly, after all, the first two shots were aimed at him.
Morofushi Kagemitsu frowned and said, "It's likely that the people who attacked me were from the organization. But, putting aside the fact that they couldn't have found me so quickly, those three attacks just now don't seem like the organization's style."
Nao Akiyama nodded silently. She had also infiltrated the organization before and was familiar with that kind of relentless pursuit. But what happened today was truly baffling.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Don't relax yet, someone's still following you. Two black sedans are catching up!]
Morofushi Kagemitsu quickly had Anti-Fraud-kun take over the Hase steward's duties and handed over the driving job to them.
At the same time, he reminded Nao Akiyama: "There are other people with you, so protect yourself."
"Buzz—Buzz—"
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: Huh? Why is the app beeping at this hour? Wait…! Jing! Our task progress bar is full!]
It's full!
Morobushi Kagemitsu took out his phone and tried to access the app.
But there was still no response.
[Anti-fraud expert reminds you: There are many roads, but safety is the most important. Reckless driving...]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: That's that line again! We're probably going to have to go through another high-speed car chase!]
more than.
Morofushi Kagemitsu recalled the timing of that sentence during this time travel and felt that it might be a reminder that they were about to return to the past.
[Anti-fraud expert #214: It's good that you can go back, but what's the difference between going back under these circumstances and a self-destructing truck? Forget the butler, there's a perfectly healthy person sitting right next to you!]
Morofushi Kagemitsu glanced at Akiyama Nao, thinking that perhaps he should find the right moment and try jumping out of the car at the instant he was traveling through time.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: That's too dangerous! Even if there are some warning signs when time and space are distorted, you can't control the exact moment of time travel. Besides, we were driving before we traveled here! What if you jumped out and got thrown out of the car too?!]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Stop thinking about taking risks. This car has some hidden mechanisms. I'll just drive it and drug Akiyama Nao.]
Wait a minute! There's something like this in the car...?
Before he finished speaking, several wisps of mist drifted out from the gaps in the car and quickly filled the entire vehicle.
Even though Morofushi Kagemitsu held his breath, he still felt dizzy, and at the same time, his heart was beating much faster.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether it was the medication working or whether he really was going back.
After a violent jolt, the car finally fell silent.
He squinted and looked up, only to find himself slumped over the steering wheel, the fog inside the car dissipating.
Is he... back?
Zhu Fujingguang closed his eyes and rubbed his temples to quickly wake himself up.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #26: We're back! We've checked, this car is ours!]
[Anti-Fraud Guru #148: But I still feel something's off? Is something missing?]
Really? All my organs are still there.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: It seems like nothing is missing, but why does it feel cramped...?]
[Anti-fraud expert #234: Really? But I think it's fine ^ - ^]
